Water is your plant’s lifeblood, so it is paramount to have a properly designed irrigation system that will keep your plants healthy and vibrant. Your system should also reduce the risks of pest and disease damage and protect the quality of your soil, all while reducing workload.
Poorly designed systems are failure-prone, can over-water or under-water, and can even flood or erode landscaped areas. In most cases, low water pressure is the main reason for irrigation problems. Before you plant, your soil should be tested for drainage and absorbencies, a process that will also help identify optimal ways to provide irrigation to the area. Our landscape designers can create and install irrigation systems based on the findings for your particular property.
Aeration Your Lawn
Why Aerate Your Lawn?
Aeration is one of the most important practices to maintain a healthy lawn and ward off problems. Compacted soil and heavy thatch are the two biggest challenges to a beautiful lawn. The cores you see on your lawn after aeration will break down gradually over a week or two. This natural return to the soil helps hold the thatch to a desirable level.
Lawn Aeration Benefits:
- Improves drainage
- Increases air, water and nutrient to the roots
- Helps relieve soil compaction
- Stimulates new growth
- Decreases thatch build-up
- Helps water reach thirsty roots during drought conditions
- Creates a better environment for overseeding
- Increases the effectiveness of applied fertilizers
Aeration is a relatively low-cost service that can enhance your yard and leave you with beautiful-looking turf. We highly recommend aerating turf at least once a year, with spring and especially fall being the best times.
